Abstract

The Smart Star model is a rating system to evaluate the quality of care in nursing homes for the elderly; it uses a five star rating score. We tested the model in a sample of 16 nursing homes in Italy. The Smart Star model showed to be effective in the multidimensional evaluation of the performance of nursing homes. One of the major strengths of the model consisted in its flexibility of application, that suggested its possible adaptation for different areas of healthcare.
